Update(3/18-14)I present to you WRETCHED-STARE AND HIS COMPUTER DESK 2.0! This update is for both Wretched himself, the computers, and the desk. Everything about the previous form of all these things had some attention paid to them. The only things to remain the same are his little desk fan, and the action figure collection(not much I could do about those really) There are also a few notable additions to Wretched's Arsenal of PC Gaming and Hacking nirvana.

Added features:

Head set. Wretched--Stare(AKA Greg) once told me that he practically lives in his headphones, so comfortable ones are needed for him. This inspired me to include a head set for Wretched.

Coffee Mug(more like oil drum ) Complete with coffee in it. It spilled when he freaked out about his desk top crashing.

Dual Mini-Fridges. This was a feature I wanted to add to the first iteration of Wretched's actual desk(not counting that puny thing I made for him at first). Inside the top fridge are some energy drinks. These are the canisters that used to be on Wretched's belt, which I did away with because it felt more in the way than useful now that he's got a Mini Fridge and new weapons. The bottom fridge has some kind of "Xtreme" snacks. Yay using printed tiles.

Printer. Pretty much any PC user needs a printer at some point for something. So I felt his desk wouldn't be complete without one. I wasn't just content with a printer, that would have been to simple for Wretched. Everything he owns is upper class high tech. So he needed at least a printer/scanner. Considering how big this desk is, I'm surprised at the fact this is the most SNOTy part of the build. It was a bit of a technical challenge getting something that looked right, didn't look too blocky or bulky, but also worked. Sadly, paper could go through it but only if its 2 studs wide, though it looks as though it should handle 4 studs wide. Oh well still looks awesome in my opinion.

Desk Drawer.Something I first did on Matteo's Desk, but expanded upon with Wretched.'s. Now he has a place to keep his rocket Launcher.

Dual Wielded "Data Blades." I decided that butter knife I gave Wretched before wasn't acceptable now that he's getting all these badass upgrades. So I sought out to find him a new weapon. I was initially going to go with a Hack Hammer, but this just kinda worked out for the better. Greg while a really great tech dude who knows his stuff about computers, also studied martial arts when he was younger, so he's told me his preferences for weapons are axes, hammers and daggers. Well these are too big to be daggers so they're data blades. It was daggers that inspired me to try something and the skrall blades just happened to really fit his look I think. Plus getting the color scheme in the weapons was pretty cool toMore on these in his Bio.

Upgrades.

Desk. Its kinda obvious that the desk itself is actually different. The middle section with the grated plates are from the original desk though. I thought those looked cool so I kept them.

Chair.The chair is somewhat the same as before. It was always a bit too tall for wretched so I shortened it by one round 2x2 Trans-neon-Green brick. I added some 1X2 tiles to give it some color. Then I redid the bottom rollers to be actual wheels that spin, not just black Beveled gears. It rolls a lot smoother now. You should see Wretched going WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE around my kitchen table, its quite funny.

PC tower.With the new desk being bigger and taller that allowed for more room to have a bigger PC tower, so now its bigger and has two Disc Drives in it, how fancy.

Monitors.Its pretty much the same exact design as before just tripled. What serious gamer doesn't have at least a gagillion monitors? Greg does. <da:thumb id="440646569"/>

Keyboard. Moved some things around to try and make it look like it'd be back lit.

Mouse.It has a mouse pad now, nothing special, just something to add a little more color to the desk.

SpeakersMostly the same but now they're mounted on the shelf

Laptop.I reworked the Laptop on both sides. Its now running Windows8, and like any sane being with half a brain...Wretched hates it. This was actually Greg's idea. When I told him I didn't like the way I did the computer screen using printed tiles, he suggested the basic colored square thing. Which was genius(Go Greg)

Bio(updated)Wretched Stare is a member of the Skakdi race. Wretched is perhaps one of the tamer of the Skakdi, but that's not saying much. He can still be characterized as "quite prickly." Wretched spends 90% of his time in doors at his computers and other technological devices. Even amongst the Skakdi he's a bit of an oddball. He plays games and sits in a dark room in front of screens instead of fighting and doing the many various malicious things Skakdi are know to do. Because of this his fellow skakdi think him odd. Once Wretched is in "manual butt kick mode" as he calls it he can be competent fighter, though he's not the most strong or fastest. Outside of battle he can be a bit of a bumbling goof.

Wretched-Stare utilizes his vast knowledge of technology to aid him in fighting. This can be seen mostly through his use of hi "Data Blades." These unique weapons have an energized core that can transmit bits of code into a being to disrupt it mentally and physically. The code can overload and kill weaker beings or simply paralyze stronger beings. Zakaz, the island the Skakdi live on is pretty barren with many fortresses dotting the landscape. Wretched holds up in a smaller fortress of his own employing small drones to keep a look out and fend off any intruders. When those don't work, he'll refer to his "manual butt kick mode," meaning he has to get off his butt and go take care of the problem himself. Being a Skakdi, Wretched has worked for the Dark Hunters. He joined the Dark Hunters to gain access to high grade equipment and technology since Zakaz had little to nothing to offer him.

Being skilled at identifying talent and potential, the dark hunters didn't really utilize his ability as a fighter, but exploited his wealth of knowledge with computers to help many of the other mechanically or technological savvy members develop new weapons for the Dark Hunters. Though he would never hand over the schematics for his Data Blades. This lead to some growing tension between him and some of the other Dark Hunters and a fight broke out amongst them. Many of the experiments they were working on were destroyed and Wretched ended up killing several of the participants. None of the other developers questioned his authority after that and he became the leader of the R&D department within the Dark Hunter's Guild.

Update(2/2/13)Wretched has a new setupWretched Stare is a guest MOC for my friend AKA Greg He was formerly known as Wretched Stare which I thought was a cooler name, but not as cool as Knight-Terror which was his old name. However, I felt Wretched Stare fits for the name of a MOC best out of all three.

About The MOCI made this MOC in dedication to Greg because he's such a cool guy. He's made numerous art pieces as well as all the icons I use. So I felt he was deserving of a guest/self MOC that wasn't lame like my first attempt So technically this would be Wretched Stare Proper and the first one would be a prototype I guess. Last time Greg had me go in the direction of a Hellghast, but this time didn't give me any creative direction, "I would rather if you did it be 100% from your creativeness.I would love to see what you come up with. " Well Greg, this is what I came up with. If you were a bionicle you'd be a multi-computer-using badass Skakdi(though not with reidak's face).

BioWretched is a Skadi Mercenary for the Brotherhood of Makuta. He tries to move up in the ranks but for as much as he tries to pass himself off as a super tough guy, he's really kinda a goof. He's better suited at working magic on his laptops instead of fighting, so other Brotherhood members, Makuta or even Toa don't really take him seriously. WS is equipped with an energy blade sword, gauntlet blaster shield which can double as knuckle dusters Energy stick(which he noms) and two canisters of a delicious beverage of his choice. He's also got some nifty office furnature.

Creating the MOCThis thing was kinda a pain in the ass. There was a lot of back and forth with it, meaning that I'd build it up, then tear it down and redo parts. I actually had finished legs on him and then said "nah this doesn't work" and changed them and the hip to allow for better movement. As I was building him I was thinking of this being my truly official Self MOC, but I knew I needed to make something for Greg. I was thinking I could call him "Wretched Eye" and he be both our self MOCs, but that idea just seemed lame the more I thought about it. So screw it, this is Wretched Stare, and Matteo is my official self MOC. WS is one of the "items" on my list of MOCs I'd like to make. This accomplishes the "build a MOC in my favorite color scheme" objective. Greg has made several art renders in this scheme, like Dotz which I used for the background, as well as his own ID's so he must like it to.

Once I knew this was going to be Greg's MOC for sure I knew it needed something he couldn't go without, at least two laptop computers. Seriously, the guy is a tech junkie and has a bunch of cool machines. I shoulda also made a small little smart phone or something, wouldn't have been that hard to do I guess. Oh well. After I made the laptops I realized while taking pictures that he'd need somewhere to sit and use at least one of them, then that's when the idea hit me. BIONICLE OFFICE FURNITURE! I particularly like the chair. I think this is something I'm gonna have to explore further.

I'm not entirely sure if I'm gonna keep this MOC together. I really like it and am happy with it, but it sucked up a lot of parts from Mechus and I don't know if I wanna free em back up or leave him as a permaMOC and just use what ever's left. So I'll go ahead and turn critiques on on this one. I won't even say "hope you like it Greg" cause I know you will. I'm pretty damned happy with it. I'm a little jelly its not actually my self MOC.

3rdeye88 has created a moc that is not only epic but just outright fricking hilarious as well!

With a color scheme that is way out there, this moc really pulls it off in both a frightening yet comical way. Not only that, but the desk just one ups the funny factor making it that much more laughable.

The armoring of the character is very well executed in both design and complexity. My only slight issue with the technique executed in this moc is with the green toa nuva chest armor pieces used for the upper back leg armor. My problem is not with the color, its with the shape of the armor pieces. Maybe trying something differently shaped or more custom might make it look better.

Well here we are agian witha nother brilliant looking moc from 3rdeye88.

The first thing to note on this moc is the obviouse colour which is very striking at afirst but on further inspection is revealed to be well executed and brilliantly pulled off. Having such bright and 'daring' colours together can sometimes have disastrous and other-wise ghastly consequences but here this is not a problem. The black base and outer armour works seemlessly with the more abundant green and just tipped of with a few purple highlights. A great choice of colours executed in a stunning fashion.

The build is quite good here too. Non conventional limbs are constructed to great effect and shows creative usage of pieces available. The Skrall masks work great as thigh and uper leg armouring but I miust protest on the use of Nuva chest plates as upper back-leg armour. The colour does work well but as the wider chest area points to the top of the thigh on the Nuva piece, it exagerates the upper legs a bit too much in my opinion as spaces them farther from the body.The overal chunky and heavily built statature works brilliantly for this moc and this creation being a Skakdi only reinforces the cause of a large and more 'brutish' looking build.

The bio for this guy is comical and really adds character to him. Having such a powerful and notary, war-like race of the Skakdi having a 'nerd' unit really contrasts to great effect.The furniture and various small accesories really add to the character and are cleverly constructed themselves.

Overal another fab moc from 3rdeye88 and a triumph for colour schemes. Congratulations on another ace piece

Well...no, Because 1, I need it for Wretched, not unless you want to pay me so I can make a BL order to make him an even cooler desk, and 2, it'd be too small for you to use anyways. You'd like quite silly sitting there at a tiny little desk trying to use a plastic computer made from Lego Gale.

Impressive build, furniture is hard to take on for Bio-folk, having to build it proportionately at such a larger scale. The desk itself is great, I love all the features and all that beautiful shaping. Wretched himself is cool too, but I really don't like the hips, the disconnection of the Skrall mask and the waist really irritates me. Sorry, but it does.

Thanks Spence. I honestly don't find it that hard though. It just means I have more room to work in. The only hard part was finding all the bricks to make the sides of the desk. For someone who has all their lego sorted, that would have been easy.

I agree that they don't visually look as good, but if there was no spacing there, he wouldn't be able to move his legs out at all and he'd be very limited in posing and mobility, even more so than he is now. Gotta have room to move when the parts are rigid and don't give or adjust.

Okey, first of all, sorry about not saying too much of the MOC or the other ones you posted, those weeks are being horrible with all the work... I just wanted to say I'm amazed with that desk. The CPU! The fridges! The printer! The drawers! THE CHAIR! I want one of those computer desks so hard. <3

Man this is one serious update, both for Wretched and his desk. And now that I can see Wretched better, I can see what you updated and he really looks cool. But that desk, with the three monitors , action figure display, slide case, photocopier and an awesome chair ! Instant fave.

Thanks RM360. I'm glad you like it. And I'm glad you can see what I changed. I'm going to leave the old version of wretched stare so people can go look at the old one to for a comparison. I need to update it to say its the old version though.

Let me start off by saying that this MOC is great I love the level of detail and the colors contrast is balanced and I love it!

Now that frigging desk is AWESOME! I love the great job you did depicting everything I would like and currently have (I did have the mini fridge but it cost to much to run so I ousted it. ) The windows 8 on the laptop came out great all of the little things that give this great detail the mouse pad, coffee cup, little figures, keyboard etc. I know this took time and effort Dave So thank you so very much.

I love the BOS on the monitors nothing pisses me off more than that fatal error mucking up your data lol

I wish my desk looked that cool and that chair is like the one I want next year for Xmass www.amazon.com/BoomChair-Steal…WOW all I can say is wow, you don't have to build MOC's to appreciate suck complexity in design and the backstory as always is cool and well written my friend.

Honestly if you need the parts I understand, I have some great photos here of it.

I am loving this update! Thank you Dave You made what was a really shitty day for me into something happy.

I remember you having a mini-fridge at one point. Well now your MOC's desk has two built right it. Thanks, it was your idea afterall I just had to try and arrange the tiles in columns of three, like the start menu. A printed decal would look cool to I suppose.

Well that was again out of necessity. I kept the little comic style strip in the collage as well. That was a big crowd pleaser before so it had to stay.

HAHA yeah that is a lot like the chair you want. I didn't even think about speakers in the chair though. Oh well I like the ones mounted on the desk. That looks more "installed" or high tech to me. I don't know how to describe it exactly. I just like where they sit and how.

Psssshhaw Man I don't need the parts. I ain't gonna put this much effort into rebuilding it just to tear it apart. I keep my MOCs together Greg, I'm used to the parts staying where they're at. Ever since I built Wretched he's been together. There was a nice healthy layer of dust on him before I took him down, a sign of old age for a MOC. You're crazy if you think I'm taking a MOC as awesome as him apart. He doesn't need one of those "start from scratch" revamps like Remaku did or Mototaur will. I don't think he's coming apart ever again. I fixed all the issues I had with him. As for the desk. Maybe in the future I'll come back to it when I have like a ridiculous amount of more intricate system parts and go more for a more involved desk technique wise. Like i said, the printer is about the most complex thing on here, maybe the tower after that. The printer uses what we call SNOT techniques. That stands for Studs Not On Top. That kind of stuff has gotten a lot easier with all the new bracket pieces Lego's produced in the last couple years. So I had some to make a decent little printer. As it is the desk is fairly simple and blocky, but that's okay, its lego.

Awwww. I'm so sorry to hear you were having a shitty day. what happened? I'm glad I made it better for you though. I'm also glad you changed your name and I just happened to want to work on 5pr1nt3r and that lead to working on Wretched to. It kinda worked out that both things happened relatively at the same time. The gods willed it Greg.

I did, yep the mini-fridge was to much for my wiring to take with all the other things so it kept tripping fuses plus in the summer it and the AC cost way to much to run. I am truly amazed at the level of things you can make big and tiny.

I when to the store the other day to pick up HF to make my first lego and was saddened they didn't have one set just chima,some military looking stuff, halo and nijago and like 100 girly lego stuff, walmart friggin sucks ass!

I had a bad fall and hurt my back and then got stuck at the doctors for hours on top of everything else I rented Avengers from google play and some hacker shut all of google services down and I lost my purchase and been going back and forth to get my $14.99 back.You shinned a light on a cloudy day thanks

Yeah I see why those kinds of things pull a lot of power. Wretched Stare probably has some kind of cool solar array on top of his fortress to power everything. Or maybe he's an invironmental jerk and uses rare energy crystals to power everything and when he's low he goes and raids other people's crystals. Thanks buddy. Lego is awesome like that. you should see the things people on flickr Make. Would break your brain Greg.

SONOFAGODDAMNEDMOTHERFUCKINGBITCH!!!!! FUCKING WAL-MART!!!! Damnit! That sucks man. I've really wanted you to get some HF and see how you liked it. The military stuff and halo aren't lego though, that's Mega Blok, which sucks ass. If you're into Halo and stuff like that, they might be cool to have, but Megabloks are shit. They don't hold together all that well. They're really not the same thing quality wise. Well if they didn't have any either your Wal-mart really does suck, or they've been selling well. You can always try a Toys R Us. They're typically a few dollars more expensive, but they always have a better selection to. This bums me out.

This bums me out even more. I'm sorry to hear you had a bad fall. Hope you're okay Greg. As for Avengers, just torrent it, sheesh! If you stick to just movies, TV and music you should be fine. I've never had an incident from it. Its programs and other .exe files I stay away from. Fuck Google and their $15 bucks. I'd rather give that to Lego for a Hero Factory set.

That's gonna be awesome! Aren't they also adding ant man and a few others this time?

Well Flickr is a good place to start. Here's my list of contacts. Not all of them are bio MOCers but some are. Pate-Keetongu is probably my favorite Flckr based MOCer and I consider him a friend. Flickr is kinda like the major leagues. All the big named MOCers of all over the lego community post there.

Then there's MOCpages, which has a lot of shit IMO but a few good treasures. Those are the major outlets for MOCs, flickr being the main one.

That's what really irritates me. I know its a one shot deal kinda thing. There's always the internet to. If you go with Amazon or Ebay you can find a selection of all of the current ones and some of the older ones on Amazon and even more of the older ones probably on Ebay. I actually don't have any of this year's HF sets. This year is the one where the Heros are Minifigs, driving Mechs fighting big monsters. We call the little jumper spider things Kaiju's cause its totally a Pacific Rim ripoff. So if you get any of the 2014 sets you'll be getting Invasion From Below before me.

It does look good yeah. I know right? I'm pretty excited. What do you think of Guardians of the Galaxy? The movie I mean, but I guess the comic to, did you follow that?

Okay I added both links to my bookmarks , I'll look at them later. Thanks Dave.

Next time I will just look online at amazon.

It looks like its going to be a great movie , I mostly know them popping in and out of Nova,Spiderman, Avengers and a few other comics and cartoons I like.Groot has always been a favorite of mine oooo I wants a groot figure for me shelf.

Probably the smarter idea. Though you'd have the added cost of shipping, which sucks, unless you buy enough at one time to get free shipping. I never do though.

Groot is the big tree dude right? Shows how much I know about this stuff. I have absolutely know knowledge of GOTG. So this will be all new to me. When have they popped in and out of other series? Doesn't it take place in the distant future? Marvel loves them some time travel don't they?

It's just a matter of opinion, but I was harping on the fact that there are gaps to allow for greater poseability, but they still can't achieve very much outward horizontal movement. (If I'm seeing things right) Fixing this would require major changes in style and skeletal design, so I won't yap about it.

ah, what does it matter? call me what you like, It's not like I'd ever tell any one my birth name over the internet! I will lie about that until I die. (which is saying something considering that I hate having to keep up with lies) I mean, do you know how many people I manage to piss off day to day? a lot. Like, multi profile shit. hell, I even go on social sites to join in those massive clusterfuck arguments sometimes. no way I'm lettin' someone get ahold of some REAL hacking info, I mean first it was a DA profile, but If they knew things about me, they could cause some damage!

THE GOVERNMENT'S SENDIN' DRONES, MAN, THEY'VE COME TO TAKE MY MAGIC TOOTH, WELL I AIN'T GOIN WITHOUT A FIGHT!

Uh, plenty of people can gain access to any account you have with a simple brute force program and some patient ingenuity, be careful, yo! like I said, call me whatever you like, but I still don't really don't see a need for name-calling, you big bully <;v

LMAO I was gonna call you bob just cause that's a simple no thought name. Alright fine. Bob it is. I like that. And wasn't silent bob also in clerks and a couple other kevin smith movies(I know it is Kevin Smith playing bob).

I'm a dumbass? Really alex, you couldn't come up with anything better than that? Dude this is pathetic. You know I was rather bored, but now I can sit here and laugh at your idiotic BS...again. Thanks for the laugh, and for boosting my stats even more.
